Saint-Etienne vs PSG Prediction

PSG have blown hot and cold this season and are yet to click as a unit under Mauricio Pochettino. The likes of Lionel Messi and Neymar have not been at their best this season and will need to step up for the remainder of the campaign.

Saint-Etienne have staged a recovery in recent weeks and are unbeaten in their last four league games. PSG have plenty of firepower in their ranks, however, and should be able to win this game.

Prediction: Saint-Etienne 1-3 PSG
